Preparing French Fries
Use a French Fry cutter to slice the potatoes or cut manually into thin sticks.
Put into a large bowl and cover them with cold water, ensuring they are completely submerged. Soak for 1 hr or overnight.
Drain the fries and lay them flat on a tea towel and pat dry. It is important to really dry them so they don’t steam.
Add fries to a bowl and coat well with oil.
Air Fryer
Preheat air fryer to 190°C or 375°F. For crispy fries, cook in 2 batches in a single layer.
Cook fries for 10 min, shake well and cook for a further 5 min. Shake and cook in 1 min increments until cooked to your liking. Season and serve.
Oven
Preheat fan-forced oven to 200°C or 390°F. Line a metal baking tray with baking paper.
Spread fries in a single layer and cook for 10 min.
Flip fries and cook for a further 10–20 min until cooked to your liking. Season and serve.
